I actually grew up in several small towns, the smallest of which is Estill Springs, TN (2,152). I was born in Cincinnati (2.1 million).
And I thought you grew up in more rural Nebraska. Not that it makes a difference. Nebraska is a hick state, just like Tennessee. Even if you live in the city, you can be a hick.

Hick and redneck have different connotations to me. I take pride in having a redneck streak, however I view "hicks" as lazy, useless, rednecks.

I'd like to agree with that, given my level of failure on the romantic front, but most (certainly not all, but most) worthwhile girls I know do seem willing to give decent guys a chance. I mean, it's not as good a chance as they'd have if they were alcoholic baby-eating douches, but it's a chance.

My problem wasn't that anyone refused me a chance, but that she apparently didn't think I was worth keeping after I poured my heart and soul into her. And yes, then ran off with a douche. (This is a UC/HR.)
So the question is...do girls like this deserve the douches they get? I used to think so, but after my personal experience, I can't just dismiss the girl I loved as a complete bad job; that'd be self-deprecating more than anything. Discuss.
